The rankings were release by the Brookings Institution inside their "Global MetroMonitor," a comprehensive report released Friday.

“Baton Rouge has partially recovered from a major recession,” the report noted. “It is lagging the United States on both employment and GDP per capita change.”

Baton Rouge is also ranked No. 153 in the report for its performance during the recession, between 2007 and 2011, when GDP decreased 3.6 percent and employment decreased by 1.7 percent.

New Orleans, however, doesn't ranked as well as Baton Rouge, ranking as no. 274 on the list. Between 2011 and 2012, GDP in New Orleans decreased by 1.2 percent and employment took a 0.2 percent hit.

The report is based off Brookings analysis of data from Oxford Economics, Moody’s Analytics, and the U.S. Census Bureau.
